tv   Tucker Carlson Tonight  FOX News  January 26, 2021 5:00pm-6:00pm PST

5:00 pm
♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." you are watching a free-speech channel. for the next hour, we will say exactly what we believe is true, period. it still america. the first point to make, and obvious point that has now been banned as a thought crime is that the united states government should never under any circumstances favor one race of people over any other race of people, period. that is immoral. we are all citizens, all human beings and all created by god and all equal. everyone of us has a right to
5:01 pm
equal treatment by our government, if the heart of countless laws passed with well-deserved fanfare by our congress over many decades. that right is inscribed on a monument on our national mall to the reverend martin luther king jr. who would be shocked and disgusted if he watched susan rice on television today. susan rice is joe biden's chief domestic policy advisor in charge of changing our country to conform to the orthodoxies of the democratic party. how do susan rice plan to do that? going forward, she announced this afternoon "every agency in the u.s. government, the government that is the largest and most lavishly funded organization in human history, every one of them will "place equity at the core of its policy design, specifically in for the benefit of marginalized communities." it was carried live by news outlets but as far as we know, not a single one of them paused to ask what exactly she was talking about, and they should
5:02 pm
have. the federal government is above all an enormous printing press. it manufactures u.s. currency. it dispenses trillions of dollars every year. according to rice, much of that money will now be distributed on the basis of equity. that means we will go to people that possess privilege. what precisely is privilege? can privilege be measured? if so, how exactly are we measuring it? and i see the privilege formula? we should see it because a huge amount turns on the definition of this word. some americans won't get the job because it's been decided they have too much privilege. others won't get into college or get promoted or when federal contracts. others will see their neighborhoods change dramatically in ways they may not like because of their privilege. they will tell you that's not true, but it is true and before any of that happens, the rest of us deserve a clear explanation of what's going on, who is getting rewarded, who's getting punished, and why.
5:03 pm
you don't have to ask politely. we are american citizens. this is our government, so we can demand an answer but of course there isn't an answer, that's the point. they can't define privilege, they can't tell us who in a country with no majority culture actually qualifies as a minority. if they don't want to have this conversation in the first place at all because their views are indefensible. that's general rather than precise and why they're trying to make us be quiet. you see these efforts all around you now. never in american history has there been a press censorship and as you noted at the top, fox news is the last significant media organization remaining in this country that allows its employees to tell obvious truths in public. the rest of them have been muzzled or shut down completely. the last to go a social media site parler which was created as a free-speech alternative. a few weeks ago, those very same
5:04 pm
monopolies pulled it right off the internet. parler no longer exists. when the history of this period is written, the destruction of parler look at its own chapter and so will these people, the mindless corporate shills who applauded its destruction. >> parler has zero moderation and the whole point is it's a completely free community the you can say what you want. it has attracted very hard right conservatives, conspiracy theorists, racists, it's garbage. won back the stuff on parler's remarkable garbage announces some low iq thug on television, therefore it's totally fine, virtuous in fact for amazon webo simply unplug it, to destroy it with no debate or coherent explanation. why did amazon do that? it wasn't because they were morally offended by parler. that can't be true. last year according to the group
5:05 pm
parents together, a total of 69 million photos and videos of children being sexually abused were reported to than national center for missing and exploited children, yet only eight of those reports came from amazon web services which was hosting quite a few of them. why is that? apparently, jeff bezos didn't consider sexual abuse videos garbage. as a director of parents together put it, "amazon web services has vast resources and controls a third of the cloud infrastructures and has uploads and downloads. the abysmal failure to report abuse means they're not looking for it." of course they're not looking for it. we should also tell you that amazon web services provides hosting services to twitter and in a lawsuit, twitter "benefited and neglected to remove and exploit native video featuring a minor boy and another minor which was repeated thousands of
5:06 pm
times and received over 160,000 views on its platform on twitter. the lawsuit says the miner and his mother repeatedly asked twitter to take down the video, the sex abuse video, but twitter refused to do so until the department of homeland security intervened, that's what it took. you're getting the picture. there's a lot of "garbage" floating around on amazon web services and twitter but none of it would justify the shutting down of amazon web services. and you should also know amazon web services provides web services for the cia. you're paying for it. amazon has billed data centers in china. according to a report by the horizon advisory group, he runs an innovation center in close partnership with the communist party of china. whatever it is, it's not a problem for our leaders because no one in the chinese government voted for donald trump. it's not like they're dangerous but you know who is dangerous?
5:07 pm
any american citizen who doesn't agree with msnbc. watch. >> the whole idea of prevention needs to be examined by the new congress. what do i mean? we still don't have a domestic terrorism law. we still don't treat this like we do international terrorism, change the religion of some of those people that enter the capital and you've got violent jihadists, the fbi with undercover informants, electronic surveillance, agents and their groups and organizations and we've got nothing like that going on. >> tucker: so the government should change the religion of those people. the government now has the right to change the religion according to the g-man on tv. that's a big change. when did this become a theocracy? with that we were allowed to believe any religion we wanted to believe even ones that morning joe doesn't understand or approve of. we imagine that was the whole point of america, not anymore. equity inclusion means they
5:08 pm
believe what they tell you to believe, period unless you are a terrorist and they can hurt you. listen to america's new brand listener, adam schiff of california. >> we have been urging for some time that the fbi and department of homeland security raise the priority to domestic terrorism to white nationalism because it threatens the country and we are going to continue sounding the alarm and make sure just as we did after 9/11 to the threat of international terrorism. we need to give the same priority and urgency to domestic terrorism. >> tucker: up that? vote the wrong way, and you are a jihadist. we are going to treat you the way we treated those radicals after 9/11, the way we treated bin laden. this is a war on terror. keep in mind as you listen to people talk like this and adam schiff is far from the only
5:09 pm
one, they are talking about you. but nobody seems to notice or care. the one who does notice or care is quite a bit, one of the only democrats willing to stand up and oppose this transparently fascist is tulsi gabbard, the former member of congress from hawaii. published a video message today explaining exactly what's at stake. >> john brennan, adam schiff, and all the quarks and big tech who were trying to undermine our constitutionally protected rights and turn our country into a police state with kgb style surveillance are also domestic enemies had much more powerful and therefore dangerous than the mob that storm the capital. >> tucker: what you just heard her say is true, no matter what they tell you, no matter how much they attack the person who said it, it's absolutely true. that is true and god bless tulsi gabbard for saying so out loud. she joins us right now to say more.
5:10 pm
if appreciate your coming on tonight. if so i don't think of you as someone given to hyperbole, not throwing while chargers out there, you measure your words. you said you were concerned we are moving towards a police state. tell us why you're worried. >> the very first thing that any president does after they've gotten elected, any member of congress and everyone of us who have served in the military is we take an oath, and we swear to support and defend the constitution of the united states against all enemies foreign and domestic. the reason that this is the first thing we do is because our constitution is the foundation of this country and who we are. it is what guarantees us our civil liberties, our freedoms that are endowed to was not by any man or person in government, but are endowed to us by our creator, and so this is something that we must all unite around. this is something that we recognize that those who storm
5:11 pm
the capital on january 6 trying to stop congress from fulfilling their constitutional responsibilities, they were acting as domestic terrorists undermining our constitution. as you pointed out in my video, those like john brennan, adam schiff and others are also acting as domestic terrorists because they are also undermining our constitution by trying to take away our civil liberties and rights that are guaranteed to us. if you don't mind, i'd like to just quote john brennan directly so that people won't say i'm taking this out of context. directly, john brennan says members who have been nominated are appointed are now moving in laser-like fashion to try to uncover as much as they can about what looks very similar to insurgency movements we've seen overseas where they germinate in different parts of the country and gain strength and bring together an unholy alliance frequently religious extremists,
5:12 pm
authoritarians, fascists, bigots, racists, nativists, and even libertarians. this is the extent that they are going to try to undermine the rights and freedoms that are guaranteed to everyone of us and it's incredibly dangerous. >> tucker: it is so dangerous and it's also happening on a greater scale than we've ever seen before because as you point out in the video that i hope every one of our viewers will find on the internet, it isn't simply government officials and our intel and law enforcement agencies. it's also private businesses, giant tech monopolies. what can the rest of us do to protect ourselves and keep free speech alive in a moment where it's being crushed all around us? >> first of all, keep speaking. this is the most important thing at a time where there is so much fear and threats and the kind of fomenting the fear we are seeing coming from the likes of john brennan, take a stand. we must all take a stand and unite around these principles in
5:13 pm
our constitution and continue to speak freely whether it be in person on the street corner all of these virtual public squares, these town squares online. big tech is culpable in this that they are using their monopolistic power to pick and choose whose voices are heard and who is voices are squelched based on who they agree with, disagree with, political affiliation, who you voted for, or whatever. there are alternative platforms. i have one, a place where people can come and speak freely and have open dialogue and conversation around different issues based on respect and appreciation for our constitutional rights and freedoms, but i think most importantly, we need to urge president biden and every member of congress how critical it is they take a stand and deem out the likes of john brennan and adam schiff's actions because if we do not and they do not, then
5:14 pm
this country that we love and cherish will no longer exist. >> tucker: when he ran for president as democrat, i watch the leadership of the democratic party try to subvert your campaign. they dislike you more than they dislike donald trump almost i know i think we know why because you're defending the basic institutions of our country. i appreciate you doing that on the show. tulsi gabbard, thank you. of course, you will likely recognize our next guest, his name is mike lindell and advertises every night on the show and across fox news. he's one of our biggest sponsors, and we are grateful for that. he is sponsoring free speech. but of course, the enforcers of orthodoxy are not impressed, they are enraged. for the crime of having different opinions, mike lindell has been banned for twitter. several retailers have also stopped selling his products. that includes bed bath & beyond, kohl's, and kroger. it bed bath & beyond, kohl's, and kroger, just a few. when you support freedom of
5:15 pm
speech, you're no longer allowed to speak. that's the new rule. it's one of the last places in this country where americans are allowed to speak and we are honored to have him on tonight to give his perspective but want to note for you, the transmission line that connects his studio to our show got cut before the show. but thank you, he has faced time and is on it right now. thank you so much for coming on. >> that list is bigger, also the shopping channel, shop hq, they just keep turning in their pos and saying we don't want my pillow anymore. if >> tucker: so your views on politics whether viewers or anyone else agrees with them are not are the views of millions of other people, and you've expressed that. if you now been shut down it seems pretty clear they are sending a message. people in the public recognizes cannot step out of line because
5:16 pm
you might convince others to do the same. do you take another message or do you think that's why they're doing this to you? >> i've always backed this great president donald trump. i've always had his back since 2016 when i first met him but when i went back to minnesota in 2016 to say i met the candidate donald trump, i was attacked by bots and trolls and i reached out to the media and did a press release and i was just called a racist and everything you can imagine and i thought for these people real? know, they weren't real. they are bots and trolls so i've been through this before. last spring, i spoke out from the rose garden and all said we should get our bibles, we were attacked then. this time, it's different. this time 17 days ago when someone put up on the internet factual new machine election fraud, i retweeted it, and they took my twitter down. when they took it down, they
5:17 pm
didn't take it down all the way. i just couldn't do anything and they were running my twitter like they were me. my friends are going you're not tweeting very much and when you do -- i said i'm not doing that so i try to take it down and i got something from germany saying these are twitter rules and you cannot do this, so they ran my twitter for 14 or 15 days. yesterday, they put it back up so i could run it and i made one tweet and it was a good letter written by one of my employees because i'm getting attacked about my integrity and they took it down 5 minutes later, and then a week ago, dominion went on tv and said they were going to go after mike lindell. they did, they hired hit groups and bots and trolls went after all my vendors to cancel me out. this canceled culture, fake stories coming out to attack my recovery network which helps addicts across the country is just a shame. if they can do it to me, they
5:18 pm
can do it to anyone out there, but i'm not backing down. we cannot back down out of fear this time, nobody can. these are real people, these are trolls and bots. the real people will buy the products and support you. you can't do this just because they cancel you. >> tucker: can i ask you one question? you grew up in this country. if they disagree with you think that you're saying things that are incorrect, why don't they explain what those things are and why don't they try to convince you that you're wrong? i thought the rules were if you think someone is saying something incorrect, you explain how it's incorrect and you convince the audience that you're right and he's wrong. when did that go away? when did we decide for us was the only answer to disagreement? >> right. i can't even live stream on facebook where they shut it down. you're exactly right. with this particular thing going on now, i've been trying to find the machine fraud and i found
5:19 pm
it. so all these outlets calling me from "the washington post," "new york times," every outlet in the country saying michael and tell, no evidence and he's making fraudulent statements. no, i have the evidence and i dare people to put it on. i dared dominion to sue me because it would get out faster. they don't want to talk about it. they don't want that, they just want to say you're wrong. >> tucker: they're not making conspiracy theories go away by doing that. you don't make people calm down and get reasonable and moderate by censoring them, you make them crazier of course. >> let the truth be told. if there's nothing to hide, let's bring it out so we all can see it and instead they're trying to erase mike lindell and my pillow. i'm not going to be erased. all my friends that lost their youtube channels, lost their
5:20 pm
facebook followers, he is gone, his livelihood he built up his just gone, any business, churches that supported the president, that's a whole other issue are being attacked and they will be canceled. >> tucker: i've noticed. mike lindell, i appreciate you coming on tonight, thank you. >> things for having me on and god bless you, thank you. >> tucker: a man, god bless you. he sells pillows. why is he being censored? anyone who is censored has been wronged as an american period and the censorship of any person diminishes the rest of us and diminishes this country, period. it doesn't matter what they're saying or that you agree with them. in fact if you disagree with them, you should argue more forcefully that their way should be heard and then argue against the point they're making. anyone who's been censored is welcome on this show is one of the last venues where you can
5:21 pm
speak, for real, anyone. whether we agree with you or not. a major court decision has just come down on joe biden's deportation order, a decision to completely upend that order. pretty amazing.
5:22 pm

5:25 pm
5:26 pm
>> tucker: joe biden's 100 day moratorium on deporting foreign nationals here illegally will have massive consequences that most americans have no understanding of. former white house advisor steven miller outlined some of the implications. >> the 180,000 people that ice removed last year, those same 180,000 people could not be removed this year as a result of that deportation moratorium. of those 180,000 people, 92% of them are criminals, either charged or convicted of a crime. in this memo, there is no exceptions clause for criminals, so beginning in just a few days, about 12,000 criminals a month are going to be released into u.s. communities. >> tucker: tonight, there's been a major court decision on
5:27 pm
this order from the biden administration and fox news' and rick leventhal his here to say exactly what it is. >> is you been reporting, president biden's effort to remake immigration policy caused a lot of confusion with i.c.e. agents and officials and a federal judge in texas is now blocking without pause for at least the next two weeks. the judge's ruling is an early legal setback for the new administration which hoped to stop sending immigrants here illegally back over the border, u.s. district judge ruled on a challenge filed by the state of texas which argued it's a violation of federal statutes and the constitution did not enforce federal law. the judge criticized biden's maneuver made on his first day in the oval office writing that the january 20 memorandum not only failed to consider potential policies, but it also fails to provide any concrete reasonable justification for a 100 day pause on deportations. the texas lawsuit argued any change in policy would require at least 180 days notice and that the moratorium violates an
5:28 pm
existing agreement with the department of homeland security. the judge found the pause could cause imminent and irreparable harm to texas but it applies to the entire nation and in a statement the white house says it's confident the moratorium was wholly appropriate and will prevail in court but for now, arrests and deportations to people living illegally in the u.s. can continue. >> tucker: amazing. rick leventhal for us tonight, thank you so much. as we mentioned a moment ago, the white house held several press briefings today about something called equity, not equality, equity. according to susan rice, the chief domestic policy advisor, enforcing equity will now be the primary mission of every agency in your federal government. >> every agency will place equity at the core of their public engagement. their policy design and program delivery to ensure that government resources are reaching americans of color and all marginalized communities.
5:29 pm
>> tucker: we should be really clear, we can't say this enough because there is a rhetorical sleight-of-hand going, equity is not equality. not everyone got that point. at one point, joe biden forgot his line and thought he was there to promote equality. the new president caught his mistake very quickly. >> i believe this nation and this country need to change their whole approach to the issue of racial equity and that means we need to make the issue of racial equity not just an issue for any one department of government, it has to be the business of the whole of government, advancing equity has to be everyone's job. >> tucker: so you spent your life using the word equality as americans have her 250 years, takes a while to figure out now we are talking about equity in the concepts have nothing to do with each other. in fact, they are opposite. equity means dividing people
5:30 pm
according to categories they cannot control, once they were born with and according to joe biden, we need a whole lot more of that. why? because in may, a guy called george floyd died. >> those 8 minutes and 46 seconds that took george floyd's life open the eyes of millions of americans and millions of people all over the world. it was the knee on the neck of justice. >> tucker: what you didn't realize when george floyd died is that a quality was going away to be replaced with equity. what does that mean for the rest of us? a civil rights activist for more than 50 years founded the woodson center, thank you for joining us. >> thanks for having me, tucker. >> tucker: if you wouldn't mind as someone who has put the goal of equality at the center of his life for many decades, tell us what equity means.
5:31 pm
>> they are using inequality to promote equity. equity means if you are sitting at the gambling table and everybody gets the same winnings. so you don't have to win, you're getting rewarded because you are who you are. this whole discussion of equity reminds me of a place that has four flat tires and we argue over the race or sexual orientation of the driver. it's a system -- cove >> tucker: that's good. >> it doesn't matter if the system is broken, so there are several problems with it. whenever you generalize about a group, all blacks, all gays, all women, and then you try to apply remedies for problems that group has, it always benefits the elite at the expense of the ones at the bottom, always ends up
5:32 pm
being unequal. for example, they generalize about all women, and the me too movement was started when a woman in harlem -- in new york tried to find a forum for abuse, low income black women to express themselves. they see is that and then promoted equality for women which meant that white, rich, and privileged black-and-white women were required to go on boards of directors and jobs and corporations in the the meantime, black women in prison needs were ignored. and so -- but they use the conditions of low income women to promote remedies that do not help them where the other problem when you're looking at it through a racial prism is
5:33 pm
that if evil wears a black face, it escapes detection and correction. for example, geraldo rivera did a two hour documentary some years ago on sexual abuse of women in prison. every one of the victims was black, every one of the victimizers were black. it did not generate any discussion of equality because he didn't fit the racial narrative. if that's the problem when we try to do that. and also, what we do is we dumbed down standards. >> tucker: five certainly noticed that it hit doesn't help people at the bottom. i appreciate your coming on, and of course we will see you again and i look forward to it, thank you. >> thank you. >> tucker: if you don't live
5:34 pm
in washington, you might not know there are thousands of federal troops in our nation's capital. what are they doing their exactly? why are they leaving? what is this about? we will investigate it after the break.
5:35 pm
5:36 pm
5:37 pm
5:38 pm
5:39 pm
>> right now, plans are made to keep national guard troops possibly into march partly due to concerns about the incoming impeachment proceedings as well as major political events that could attract violent fringe elements to the nation's capital. >> tucker: thousands of soldiers are in our capital city and cnn is not curious about that at all, happy to just repeat the talking points, stop asking questions. is it good for the country, what is it about? represents a state of louisiana enjoins us tonight. i'm glad you came on tonight. i think this is a huge topic being ignored by everybody, why
5:40 pm
do we have thousands of soldiers in our capital city >> greg: seriously. >> i have some things to look out for on judgment day, but one of them will not be being ungrateful for our national guard and law enforcement officials, god bless them. we've got some nut jobs violate the capital on january 6th. we brought in national guard troops to ensure president biden had a safe inauguration. he did, inauguration is over, but if you look around capitol hill, parts of it look like a scene from mad max. there is razor wire, fences, barricades, humvees, automatic weapons, they had tanks, and the news media is always filming this stuff. if you ask our democratic leadership which is in charge, they'll tell you we have all this here to keep you safe. i'm a pretty simple guy, tucker.
5:41 pm
i like breakfast food and straight answers. and i'm not accusing anybody of anything, but washington, d.c., being washington, d.c., someone might think there's a political angle here. they might surmise that the democratic leadership within news media is trying to send a message to the american people, and that message might be the republicans couldn't keep you safe, but we the democrats can. >> tucker: may i interrupt you right there? i spent my whole life in d.c. in a neighborhood where i spent my life, no one is protecting the people of washington. we had riots in the city. they tried to burn the episcopal church in the city and no one did anything about it. this isn't protecting anybody except for the people in power, truly. >> you're right, and the senate who just might be seeing the
5:42 pm
message i just described would also see the irony because the democrats want to defund the police, but the second message in the senate writes he is a message from the elites, and that message would be something along the lines of uber elites are very busy, important people, very smart, very virtuous, we have a second home with the driveway and we are telling you we need to be very, very afraid of anybody who didn't vote for joe biden and that's why we need to call in the national guard. now, i'm not accusing anybody of anything, and i probably just blew any chance i ever had of having katie couric be a friend of mine on facebook, but i think that's a legitimate point of view. >> tucker: i think it is too. it's great to see you tonight, thank you for that.
5:43 pm
at some point, somebody and congress needs to say get your troops out of my city. now. we learned this weekend that one of the top figures in the financial community sent more than $150 million to jeffrey epstein. don't ask questions, totally normal, just like having thousands of troops in your capital city is totally normal. what are you, crazy? maybe we are. we will get into it after the break.
5:44 pm
5:45 pm
5:46 pm
5:47 pm
5:48 pm
>> tucker: there was a major development over the weekend and the jeffrey epstein mystery because it is the basic level still a mystery. the development involves the ceo of apollo global management, joins us tonight with an update. >> the former ceo is stepping down after an investigation into his ties with jeffrey epstein revealed black paid epstein $158 million for fees related to tax and estate planning, but new details from an outside law firm and since there's no evidence that he was involved in his
5:49 pm
crimes. black even denied wrongdoing and condemned his conduct, but the law firm says it reviewed more than 60,000 documents, more than 20 witnesses and portions of that investigation reads "you would at times allude to their personal relationship. when attempting to negotiate aspects of their business relationship and made repeated efforts to ingratiate himself with other senior executives at apollo. beginning in 2016, their professional and personal relationship deteriorated over a payment dispute that had long been brewing with him refusing to pay epstein tens of millions of dollars that epstein believed he had earned. believe that he saved up to $2 billion in taxes from a black asked for the outside review of their relationship. >> tucker: matt finn, thank you so much for that. elaine maxwell who was accused of sex trafficking minors on behalf of jeffrey epstein is still awaiting trial in this
5:50 pm
country. for lawyers are trying to get the charges dropped in the name of equity. they are saying the grand jury was drawn from a community in which black and hispanic residents are significantly underrepresented. okay. what does that mean, by the way? are black and hispanic jurors more tolerant of this? they are not. tammy bruce is the president of the independent women's voice. i know it's a conspiracy theory to suggest that the richest people in the world may be up to no good, but what do you make of all these developments here? >> clearly, there are some very fabulous people who are fabulously rich, but what we do have here on the left in the right recognize it is an unfair system of justice but of course with enough money, you get the best lawyers, we were able to drag the system along, friends in high places, that creates
5:51 pm
enough quality in the system. so when you're looking at someone like ghislaine maxwell, it is shocking. it was shocking that there was a little bit of attention paid to them and she is certainly not even out of prison, but i think there's a distraction here. this is the tip of the iceberg. this kind of money we are discussing is enormous, and it really does have an impact on the nature of how the system deals with you, and i think this is what americans don't like, but we've got to have more than gestures, then distractions in a certain way. jeffrey epstein and what they are doing with that kind of money, tens of millions, billions of dollars, questions of course about president biden and money from china when it comes to his son and the amount of money that changes hands, who has power and who does not and then of course when it comes to taxes, if you've got enough money like mr. black, you will be able to hire someone to get you out of a tax framework. all taxes are meant for the
5:52 pm
little people, let's never forget that. >> tucker: most of us are reminded for quite a bit. great to see you tonight, thank you so much. >> my pleasure. >> tucker: as we said at the beginning of this show, this is the free speech network. it always has been. what we didn't expect was to be the only one left. to protect speech, you can't be passive anymore. there is no option. you have to stand up for it or you'll lose it. brit hume joins us straight ahead.
5:53 pm
- hi, i'm michael youssef. have you ever experienced the pain of betrayal? it hurts when someone abandons you or lies about you, but jesus knows all about that pain, your pain. he was betrayed by all of his friends and yet he forgave them and he will forgive you and heal you when you receive him. when you come to jesus and place your whole trust in him? - [announcer] visit findingtruepeace.com to find out more.

>> the figure of speech is a foundational freedom and without it we don't have freedom. this network exists to defend freedom of speech and always has. peoperstand the central importance of this right. our senior political analyst is here with us and we are happy to have him with us this evening. you spent your life benefiting from the first amendment.
5:58 pm
>> well, what is most distressing to me, tucker, is all kinds of crackdowns on speech in different organizations and so far, the extent to which the journalists are now participating and it astounds me because i don't know that there's any chance for them to shut down this along with various other outlets. however, it is alarming and it suggests to me that people who were calling for this don't really understand the basis of the concept of free speech, which is that people are better informed and tolerating them and the answer to objectionable speech is not censorship. thomas jefferson expressed it very well many years back when he said the following. for here, he said we are not
